German Bundesliga Sunday Review


Bayer Leverkusen stormed back to the top of the Bundesliga with a 3-1 win at Hoffenheim.

Leverkusen, briefly displaced at the summit following Bayern Munich's 3-2 win at Werder Bremen yesterday, were ahead after 11 minutes through Sami Hyypia.

Toni Kroos (51) and Tranquillo Barnetta (72) added a cushion in the second half.

Elsewhere, trouble mounted for Wolfsburg coach Armin Veh as the champions lost 3-2 at home to Cologne, extending their winless streak to seven games.

Kevin Pezzoni opened the scoring for Cologne in the seventh minute before Christian Gentner equalised in the 21st minute.

Sebastian Freis again pushed the visitors ahead after 57 minutes only to see Ricardo Costa equalise two minutes later, but Adil Chihi struck the winner with 16 minutes to play.

Wolfsburg now have the second worst defence in the league with 38 goals conceded and they remain on 24 points in 10th place - 10 points from the European places.
